Sir,…We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated…our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. Patrick Henry, Give Me Liberty Speech, March 23, 1775
A number of Republicans “violated their oath of office…and voted to certify President Obama’s lawless conduct” when they passed a massive spending bill that includes funding for amnesty and health care. (1)
The Democrat Party, hijacked long ago by hard-core Marxists, constantly tells anyone who’ll listen how evil we are. Their real intent is “to overthrow the country as it was founded” as evidenced by the release of Diane Feinstein’s report on CIA torture. (2)
Isn’t it funny how Senator Feinstein and others feel the world is entitled to read her report, while they conspired to keep contents of the heath care law and the funding bill under wraps from Americans?
Texas Senator Ted Cruz told the country that we are now engaged “in a full fledged Constitutional crisis” because the President believes “he is not bound by law or the Constitution and has usurped executive and legislative power into the presidency.” (3)
Only a few people like Cruz and Senator Mike Lee of Utah are standing for the American people, but they’re paying a heavy price for it. In fact, many lies are being told about what they really did last weekend.
Senator’s Cruz and Lee “forced a vote on the constitutionality of Obama’s executive action” on amnesty. Every Democrat senator, including those who spoke out against his move initially, voted in favor of it. Only 22 Republicans sided with Cruz and Lee. (4)
Since 1913 the senate has not represented the interests of the people or the states, which is why the 17th Amendment must be repealed.
The vote last weekend, done once again without the consent of the American people, confirms these dinosaurs don’t give a rip about us.
The two political parties are being led by people who think they’re “lords and ladies.” They need to be sent home and replaced with good conservative men and women who will “defend the Constitution, honor their oath, and get us back to the principles the nation was founded on.” (5)
George Washington warned how dangerous political parties could become and now we’re experiencing it:
“And of fatal tendency…to put, in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party;- often a small but artful and enterprising minority…They are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People and to usurp for the themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion...”
“But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism…
Disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an Individual…(who) turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty…The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism…”
“But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.
The precedent (of usurpation) must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield.” (6)
Do you remember what the Boy Scouts taught their little troopers? You leave a campsite exactly in the same condition as you found it; clean, plenty of firewood, and a bucket of water nearby to douse the campfire with.
The same principle needs to be applied for saving the country for the next generation.
